Vehicle Description
Stk. 2228 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88
If you were shopping for an Oldsmobile rag-top in the '70s you
probably noticed something unusual at the dealers. Virtually none
of the brochures for the Delta 88 showed a convertible model. The
de-emphasis was deliberate. Olds decided that customers would
clamor for a model that they deemed hard to find. It worked - they
sold over 7,000 soft tops in 1973. This 1973 Delta 88 Royale
convertible has only 52,688 original miles and has been proudly
cared for by the current owner for the past 36 years. It's factory
Cranberry Red Metallic exterior is in good condition and a new
power convertible top was installed in 2005. The burgundy vinyl
interior is all-original and in very good condition. Our
convertible is well optioned with an AM/FM/8-track stereo (works),
power tinted windows and power seats. There is an icon under the
hood - the venerable L75 455 4V Olds Rocket V8. This motor was a
mainstay in the full-sized Oldsmobile line for many years. The 1973
version of this engine produced 215HP and 350lb/ft of torque. Our
455 appears to be completely original and is backed by GM's 3-speed
Hydro-Matic transmission. The suspension is equipped with power
steering, power disc/drum brakes and a 3.08:1 differential. Factory
15" wheels sport full wheel covers. There are very few Oldsmobiles
around like this matching numbers Delta 88 Royale classic. It
belongs in your Olds garage. Call 800-650-1055 or visit our website
